As the mayor of Vancouver, Gregor Robertson has worked very hard towards making the city an environmentally sustainable centre. Since he came into office, he has implemented something called the "Greenest City 2020 Action Plan".
This action plan includes ideas such as creating more bicycle pathways to cut down on the number of cars on the roads, and making it so that all new buildings are carbon neutral. Aside from these and many other ambitious goals, the plan also calls for the creation of over 9,000 jobs. Mayor Robertson is quote as saying that "The rapid growth in Vancouver’s green economy demonstrates how our Greenest City Action Plan is creating new jobs in our city, and building a diverse, more innovative economy". This means that not only will this action plan be benefitting the environment, it will also help the economy.
